A new season of Fortnite means new NPCs on the map ready to sell you their wares. These characters are never created equally, so let me show all NPC locations in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 and who you should visit.
Fortnite NPC locations guide: Where to find them and their items
If you’re struggling to find decent loot, NPCs can save you in a pinch if you have Gold to spare. Some NPCs also offer Mythic weapons if you can beat them in combat. Peabody and Backbone, in particular, are worth visiting, as they are the only NPCs who sell the new Nitro Splash items.
On the map above, you can see the location of every NPC. I’ve labeled each one, and you can find their items and services in the table below:

Where are the Pirates of the Caribbean NPCs?
Jack Sparrow is on the map, but oddly enough, he doesn’t appear on the character list. Fortunately, he spawns around the same location every time, on the beach to the far east (pictured above).
Jack’s inventory is also pretty unique, although you’ll likely have to fight other players before you can talk to him. Here’s the list of Jack’s wares:
- Ship in a Bottle Mythic Weapon (200 Gold)
- Buried Treasure Map (300 Gold)
- Prop Disguise (50 Gold)
There’s also a ship in the water nearby. At the time of writing, most players don’t know Jack is on the beach instead of the boat. There’s usually a massive gunfight on the deck, and you can use the commotion to your advantage.
We’ll update this guide if more NPCs show up during the Cursed Sails event.
Who are the best NPCs to visit in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3?
If you can beat Oscar in a duel, he will give you his Mythic Frenzy Auto Shotgun. For this reason alone, Oscar is the most important NPC on the map. Cerberus at Grim Gate is a close second, as his Mythic Gatekeeper Shotgun is up for grabs.
While these NPCs offer some of the most sought-after weapons on the map, every character brings something to the table. You can rely on NPCs to bolster your inventory in a pinch or hire them to have the numbers advantage in battle.
If you don’t care about Mythic Shotguns, Persephone is the only NPC on the map who sells the Rift-To-Go. As the item is so rare, your opponents will never expect to see it.
If you don’t have the gold, you can still rely on powerful weapons to tilt the odds in your favor. Check out the Nitro Fists when you can, as they are lethal in close-range combat
